I really don't think the Federation's war machine is big or efficient enough to take on the Empire.

Besides, the Federation has a massive bureacracy at its helm, whereas the Empire answers only to the current Sith Lord... and they don't have a Prime
Directive.

Now, in a one-on-one confrontation between leaders, I think that Kirk or even Picard might be able to take Vader or Palpatine-- keep in mind that
they've dealt with Q, the Borg Queen, the evil clone guy in Nemesis, and a whole lot of pissed-off Klingons.

In terms of the might of armies, I'd have to say the Empire would emerge victorious, though.

There we 25,000 of these babies in use during the Galactic Civil War before the vents of ROTJ, therefore the Federation not only would be crushed by
ten of these they would'nt stand a chance against the entire empire. Plus correct me if I am wrong the Federation did not control any planets, it was
an alliance of sort. The Empire owned hundreds of planets, and gained a lot of tax money from them.

Sorry to say this (manly because you are helping my argument) but fed ships have phasers not lasers and the most powerful ship is not the galaxy glass
but the would be either the sovereign, Prometheus, or defiant.

But any way a single shot from a starwars fighter (slave 1 not an xwing which for some reason is much weaker) is more powerful than a photon torpedo
(the standard torpedo for startrek).

Definetly the empire would win, they were so massage they took a up a galaxy, they had fully formed armies, actual fleets with fighters, And don't
forget the FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! the federation is relatively small compared to the empire. No army , just dudes in a one piece with receding hair
lines. May the Swartz be with you!

i agree. one star destroyer is like an aircraft carrier/battle ship. now imagine the entire imperial navy. the federation has nothing on them. the
empire alone could totally rip anything in star treck to pices!
